Day #2 of Penn Yan, NY Trip: Seneca Farms, Yates County History Center & Oak Hill Mennonite Store

Good Morning and Welcome Back to Bathroom Blues,

Last week's post was delayed to a severe UTI so here we are with more of my trip to Penn Yan, NY.

Our second day consisted of lunch at Seneca Farms, a restaurant that has been in business for more than fifty years! The retro decor is enchanting, the bathroom had me singing a happy tune and the food was absolutely delicious. But don't over eat. You have to leave room for fresh, homemade icecream!

We then visited the Yates County History Center and Oliver House, which was quite an experience.

Jet lag had us calling it a day a bit early, but we enjoyed every moment out and about, especially our visit to Oak Hill Mennonite store where we found fresh fruit, homemade cookies and zuchinni bread, and all sorts of goodies! In fact, I ordered something special to bring home to my honey. I had to pick it up the following week but that was OK too. Nona and I wanted snacks for the airports and plane rides.

The drive to, from and all around Penn Yan & Hammondsport, NY is breathtaking. Rolling green hills and farmland covered with cabbage or corn or sunflowers fills the senes and heart with awe for God's creation.

Although, I'm pretty hooked on various types of technology, seeing a horse-drawn buggy carrying a family to and from town, or in town, made me long for yesteryears when life was simpler. 

Well, that about does it for today, folks.

I hope you enjoyed today's trip down memory lane in New York and that you'll check back each week for another episode of Bathroom Blues.

Until then, happy trails.
